The conference hosted at the Mountain Economy Center CEMONT in Vatra Dornei, Romania, marking International Mountain Day 2025, provided an excellent opportunity to present the final results of the European Tourism Sustainability Monitoring 2030 (ETSM2030) project.

Held under the title “Smart development and the resilience of mountain communities in the face of current global crises – Perspectives for a sustainable mountain economy”, the event brought together policymakers, researchers, and practitioners committed to the future of mountain regions.

The ETSM2030 results were presented in the plenary session by Rey Adrian - Radu, representing our Romanian partner organisation RoMontana, and were complemented by a poster presentation highlighting key project outcomes.

We are very pleased to share these valuable results, which contribute to improving sustainability in the tourism sector at European level.
